Owing to the tightness of the money market last winter, capital has not wholly recov-- . ered from the shock which it received and is naturally timid about embarking in any new venture, and therefore niaby of the large building enterprises contemplated earlier in the season have been delayed and will probably not go on this year. For this reason the mar-ket here is fully supplied in every skilled trade as well as in tho ranks of common labor. Nearly every contrac-tor or employer gives the information that he could double his force in half a day from the list of applicants if he so desired. Th (Igden IMIIlrmlty. From Thursday's Ktiimlurd. The strike in the painters' department sssumed greater proportions yesterday, and if the differences are to continue other unions would probably be asked to drop in and aid, thereby bringing the buiiding business virtually to a stand still. It was stated in Tuusday's paper that Mr. Morris had told the painters at work on the Stayner block that unless they went to work that morning they could pick up their tools and quit. Tuesday morning came around and the painters failed to go to work. Mr. Morris then put on two non union men and three union men who were willing to work. Yesterday he received notice from the painters engaged on his other contracts, some eight or ten men, that they would quit unless he took off his men from the Stayner building." They were told that move or say anything for the union, ho will make it so much harder for you. He manly and show yourselves to be men, and while I would uot have you do anything that is mean or against your employers' interest, yet stand up up for your rights aud you will not only succeed, but your employers will think a great deal more of you. Wish-ing you all tho best success possible, I am, A Worker. ' Miner or Hullo. , Members of the Miners Union in Tin-ti- o are complaining that many of them who took a prominent part in the re-cent unpleasantness there ever com-pany stores and boarding houses, are being discharged with and without pre-texts, if they do not continue to trade or board where the companies would like to have them. If the statements are true and can be subtantiated. then the mine have even a greater grievance than they bad before. Will l'rollily lie Kefnsed, The impression is prevails that the committee who recently waited on the directors of the Mammoth Mining Com-pany asking that the restriction on their liberties be removed so that they could board where they pleased, will tail in accomplishing their desires iu this re-gard. Hut whether or not the requests of the miners are acceeded to, the senti-ment of nearly everybody will say; "They are right." Illicit and Wrong. It Reems, according to an interview re-cently published in The Buffalo Express, that wages are much lower in that city tiian in other towns of the same class. In this interview a leading labor man said to the reporter that the reason why wages were higher in New York city than in Buffalo is that the standard of living of tiie workers in the former is kigher. Tiieir uecesflitios are greater; athletic game; to do so is to make them-selves liable to urrest. They have no playgrounds; but gambling with pen-nies in a corner can bo managed easily and on almost every block there is somo house where they can leant tho nobler games af chance, and things worse even than gambling. There are houses that specially cater to childish vice stores having partitions!!! the rear, behind which children practice' prostitution. So long as tho street is th& only playground for tho children the evil spirits among their number those who rule in these hells must exercise a powerful influence on companions whoj if they were granted better surroundings, would escape contamination. 1 am pro-par-to hay that our chief work today should be done among the children. Our strength and our timo are limited; we want to plant our blows where they will tell most, to sow our seeds where they will have the best chance to grow. A man or a woman who has pursued an evil course from childhood is almost always past help at twenty-fiv- speak-ing generally; but tho children can, be naved. They cannot, however, bo saved by public schools, uor yet by Sunday schools. They are not being saved; they are passing from bad to worse, and noth-ing can rescue thera but an awakened. Christian sentiment that will not pause till their surroundings are such a will, give tho divinity within them taunt chance to grow. Eev. W, S. Kainsford in Forum. Too Much riukerton, Dragtnng in Piukorton's men to assist in quelling disturbances which tho State should attend to with its own forces is a very poor way of dealing with a difll-cult- The coko workers who aro on strike will ..not leave their jai-'rab-homes with very good grac under the they cared not to work the could fjuit and, it is understood, they have Bono so. Mr. Morris stated that he ex-pected three of the men he put on the d building would be ordered olf that day by the Central Labor union, but it was not learned whether such order had been given or not. The Hrieklayei s' union has not joined this strike. Their resolutions of sym-pathy, as published yesterday morning, does not luesn a lock-ou- t from that source. At the commencement of tho strike they published a card stating, in effect, that they were satislied with their wages and hours and would .join no latior saltation this summer. From this fact Mr. Morris considers it strange that the painters' union even (hough in sympathy with the carpenters, should join tht! agitation when they are satis-fied, and have no complaint to make cf their own condition. Last evening a conference was held between the executive committee of the Central Labor union and the liuilders' exchange at the latter's rooms in the First National bank building. The session lusted over threo hours, the union presenting the following de-mands-. Resnlved: Art. 1st. That on an I after the 1st day of May. is H, nine hour for live day In the week and ekrht hours on Saturdays shall a dav's vnrk. "Resolved: Art. 'al. That ail overtime snail t'e paid time and a half, aud double tune lor 6'indav. Resolved: Art. 3'. That carpenters' help- ers be stiii tly fortndtien the use i.f ai,y carjien-ter-tools, when employ-- d on bnildJns. uuhs hired I y the employer as apprentice, for ta space of twelve, t VZ) months. The second article was conceded by the exchange. The third article was conceded by the union. This left the only difficulty on the first article und there they stuck. The union conceded the payment of the extra hiuir, willing to lose that amount, but objected to the "docking." This they did on the ground that if conceding a reduction of one hour's pay on Saturday they would injure the interetts of other trades unions now enjoying the benefits of tho tliey dress better, cat bet ter, and are bet-ter housed in short, live better. That is what causes higher wages." "Not tho laws of supply and demand?' queried the reporter. 'No, that is tho old worn out theory of the old school of political economists, that wages rise and fall according to the laws of supply and demand. Wages are regulated by the standard of living, as ti e later political economists admit. People who live in two small, ill fur-nished rooms, aud who fare on low diet, can get along on lower wages t han those who live luoro rationally. Where the btan.durd is loW, as in Buffalo, wages ure low." This is truo to a great extent, yet it is also true that tho standard of living can bo and is raised by the laborers them-selves. There is no disputing "the iron law of wages," which tho Buffalo man evidently indorses, but it is not true timt labor is exempt from the operations of the law of supply aud deiuaad. Let mo explain: If there are continually a great many more applicants for .v certain kind of work than there are places, and compe-tition for the jobs is unrestrained by the powers of organization, then those who are willing to live for least set tho rata of wages iu that industry. Where the unions ure enabled, through reducing the hours of labor or otherwise, to cut down the competition of tho idle the standard of living is kept up. Tho "iron law" used to bo defined us tho infallible rule which fixes the wages at tho amount which tho workers can live upon. Now it is modified through tho operntions of tho unions to mean th amount they trill live upon. So, while it is true that, under tho competitive sys-tem, wages will always bo measured by the standard of living, it is equally truo that the standard is subject in a great ployed against them. Who can blamo the miners for resent-ing hard usage from fellows who do not come armed with state authority, but aro hired as bricklayers might bo for their job? This is only stirring tho strikers up and egging them on to vio-lence. If they must be dealt with strongly, let tlioso who aro tho repre-sentatives of stato authority so deal with them. Such a tiling as these armed men interfering on private authoriza-tion should be stopped in every state. It is and evil. New York Evening World. The frolileni We Icnore. In company with Miss Ida Van Etten, Mrs. Annie Besant made a tour of somo of Now York city's slums. What she saw in Ludlow street seemed to astound this woman so f uuiliar with tho worst phases of poverty iu London. She said to Miss Van Etteu: "You have a peculiar clement which enters into questions of municipal life that we have not in London. I see that every face u foreign. These people seem to speak no English. They havo customs of their ova countries, of which they seem to havo been the lowest class. Methods for bettering their condition and surrounding:! must necessarily bo changed from those wo use when we have only English to deal with. It is au intricate social problem with you. The smells of these are worse than ve have in tho foulest districts of London. The filth docs not seem to be removed in it should be. But tho exhalations trom toe horses doubtless increase the unfa-vorable street conditions." To Kntertaln I. T, IT. Delegates. Tho of the International Typographical union resident in New York city have organized for the mir- - first article. They asked that they be fiaid by the day at a rate sufficiently than present nine - hour day Wages to cover the loss of the free hour on Saturday. To illustrate: If paid 83.00 for a nine-hou- r day iustead ' of paying $3.80 for eight hours on Sat-urday, distribute the difference of 40 cents ou the six days making the actual wages of a .13 (iO day $3.5;;j. Thus there would be no loss to the contractor, the carpenter would get his Saturday hour without pay and other unions would be protected. The last concession the exchange re-fused to accept, takinjr nothing but an absolute one hour reduction in wages on Saturday. No agreement was .therefore reached and now the carpenters propose to tight in earnest, having yielded, as they consider, everything that is just, asking no pay for work not performed, simply asking for equal day payment through-out tho week. Katall Clerk. Editor of The Times: It was with pleasure I noticed in The Times a few weeks ago an announcement that the retail clerks of this city would meet for Ihe purpose of organizing a Retail Clerk's union, and a few days later I aw they had perfected an organiza-tion. Now this is a9 it should be, for if any one ever needed shorter hours it is a Salesman, who stands on his feet from 4:.'10 in the morning until !l and 10 o'clock at night. It is too much, I say, for any man, as he is not only all tired out at closing time, but when he goes borne be is compelled to so to bed at measure to tlio operations or competi-tion iu the labor market. When the laborers till understand that they aro subject to the laws cf com nd that they must take a lesson from the railroads, Standard Oil com-pany aud the like, and through combina-tion control tho market, tho throat cut-ting phase of competition can bo con-trolled, and t'ne standard of living raised to tho highest possible notch. Jos. K. Buchanan. The Moill Factory. A waist factory in Newark, N. J., which employs 330 young women, is de-scribed by a correspondent as follows: They are treated not only like bnnian beings but like civilized people, 'here are bath tubs in the factory, with an abundance of hot and cold water, linen towels and toilet soap. Did any one ever hear of such luxuries in a factory of any sort? In the girls' bat hroom there are rugs under foot, tho finishing is done in oak, the trimmings are nickel plated, the sanitary nnuiig incuts are perfect, and everything is as bright aud clean as it is possible to make it. Each employe is allowed thirty minutes for a bath, and if ono is so fastidious as to need three-quarte-of an hour no comments aro made. Tho "Model Factory," as it is called in trade, was erected about a year ago. The building looks mora like a nunnery than, a f.u-tor- There aro white curtains on, every window in the house.

The Brooklyn bridge is owned by tho municipalities of New York and Brook-lyn. It is by long odds tho best man-aged transit scheme iu the vicinity. The fares aro three cents for cars and ono cent for pedestrians, and the incomo is so much more than tho operating and interest on investment that tho toll is to be taken off of pedest rians and teams, and tho car fare is soon to bo reduced. Hero is an example for those who think the government cannot run the railways, national and city. The Indians of Alaska, who are in rreat demand as seal hunters, have ktruck for higher wages. They demand seven dollars for every seal taken, which tho sealing captains aro unwilling to give. Seals are reported to be especially numerous this and the sealers are anxious to get after them.

He will put in jigs at the mine to work his secon-d- class ore. Word hs been resumed on the Ken-tucky group after a standstill of two weeks.
